Eddie Kingston believes AEW will continue to grow.
Since capturing the AEW Continental Crown at AEW World's End, Eddie Kingston has been on an incredible run in AEW, defeating Bryan Danielson, Bryan Keith and more with the titles on the line.
While speaking to WrestlingNewsCo in a recent interview, Eddie was asked where he saw AEW in a year. Kingston replied that he simply sees it still growing as long as he is alive and kicking.
“I still see it growing. I know a lot of people said, ‘Oh, AEW fell off,’ or whatever they say on the internet. Look, as long as I’m around, AEW is not falling off. We’ll be alright. As long as I’m able to wrestle and certain guys like Mox and other guys are still wrestling, AEW ain’t going nowhere, and it’s not going down nowhere. I remember hearing someone say, ‘Oh, we’re back. We’re back. AEW is back’ after scumbag Okada debuted. I was just like, ‘I didn’t go anywhere. No one went anywhere. There’s no I’m back. We’ve been here. It’s not our fault you weren’t watching. We’re busting out asses still every day to put out great matches and great professional wrestling. So just because you guys went away doesn’t mean that we’re back [laughs]. We’ve been here. So no, I just see AEW growing and continuing to grow, and as long as I’m alive and kicking and able to get in the ring, AEW is gonna keep growing."
Kingston is currently scheduled to face off with Kazuchika Okada for the Continental Championship on the March 20th edition of AEW Dynamite.
Kingston's next defense of the Ring Of Honor World Championship was also recently announced, as he will take on Mark Briscoe for the championship at Supercard of Honor next month. You can read more about that here.
